The Drill.

The members of the Columbus Rife
Company are smarting at the stigma of
| ridlcule which has been cast upon them.
The article was copied from the Dis
patch by the Jackson CLARION and
considerably twisted Here is the way
that paper prints it:
"The Columbus small boys are en-
deavoring to organize military COM
pany and the Dispatch makes the Col
umbus Rifiemen feel small enough to
hide their diminished heads behind
their ram-rods, when it remarks upon
the subject: eve hope it will be sue
cessful, as we would like to see one good
military company here, anyhow"
This is an insult to the oldest military
company in Mississippi, and am told
that on the 4th day of August the Col
umbus Rifle Company will have been
organized half century. This nut
for the CLARION to crack: The members
say they are ready at any time to take
sixteen of their men, and drill with any
similar number the little city of Jackson
can produce. They can either have the
drill in Columbus or designate their
own time aud place. The boys are of
the opinion that they would have to
hustle. columbus Sunday Telegram.
Capt. Green Immediately responded
as follows:
HEADQUARTERS OF CAPITAL LIGHT GUARDS,
JACKSON, MISS, June list, 1887. !
Captain Commanding Columbus Rifemen, Column
bus, Miss
Dear Sri am in receipt this morn
ing of copy of the Sunday Morning
Telegram, date of May 90, in which is
the following paragraph marked,
THE members say they are ready at
any time to take sixteen of their men
and drill with any similar number the
little city of Jackson can produce. They
can either have the drill in Columbus,
or designate their own time and place"
The Capital Light Guards promptly
accept your challenge to drill sixteen
privates, right and left guide, and
three commissioned officers, all bona
tide members thereof for 80 days pre-
vious to the time of drill. | designate
Jackson as the place, and July 4th next
as the time of the drill. Other prelimi-
naries can be arranged hereafter.
Yours truly,
GEO. S. GREEN,
Captain Commanding Capital Light Guards.
In reference to so "much ado about
nothing" we wish to state that while it
is possible that our construction was
twisted" we scarcely think it probable
that such is the case. We have been
unable to obtain copy of the Dispatch
containly the original local, so we can
not speak positively, but, if memory
fails not, our twisting of the notice in |
the Dispatch pales before the remark
able effort of the Telegram, in twisting
ours. However, we wish to assure the |
Rifiemen that it was no part of our in |
tention to cast stigma upon their gal |
liant company, as the whole thing was
written rather in a spirit of jest than |
earnest, and to be truthful, more to fill |!
up rather scarce news column, than |
for any other purpose. We further |
assure the soldiers of Columbus that, if |
they see fit to meet our boys here they |
will be cordially welcomed and the |
''little city of Jackson" will do all that |
lies within her ability to make to drill |
pleasant.

Strained Relations Between the Two
Mr.. Day Will be Around at the Next
Convention.
Washington correspondence st. Paul
Pioneer Press: The rather strained re-
lations said to exist between Gov,
Church and the Hon. NH. Day of Ds-
kota have not been subject OF much
discussion here in Washington, Tor with
the disappearance OF the Dakota coterip
OF politicians, all interest in their move
ments ceased. But there has been dis.
position on the part of the democratic
papers throughout the territory to foster
this alleged ill feeling, and either by in
nuendo or direct charges to tempt one
or the other of these gentlemen to q dec.
laration of open hostility. The faYorite
method with the average democratic
| paper in Dakota is to assert that repub-
lican papers are causing oil the trouble
between what they are pleased to term
the two factions in democratic politics,
and then go on to retail come bit of scan
dabor some sighting remark which one
gentleman is supposed to make about
another. The truth Of the matter is,
that very few democratic editors OF Da-
kosa are In that territory for their
| health, and each is anxious to stand
solid with the leaders who are sup
posed TO be the most influential
with the administration. Suppoaing
that i'll feeling exist between the govern
or and MIR. Day they are decidedly un-
certain as to whether they can afford to
| cut loose and abuse either, ,antil they
have more satisfactory proof of the
strength which each has with the 20 wers
here in Washington. Since Gov
Church's visit here there has been dis
position on the part of the majority oi
| the small Try in the territory to throw
out ill-natured cuts at Mr.. Day and hir
friends, with the idea that it would be
pleasing to the governor anG would
| make them solid With him. These
editors are making q mistake. While
there is not as great cordiality of feeling
between Mr.. Day and the governor as
| there probably woulj be were they
better acquainted with each other there
is no hostility. and while Mr.. Day has
no favors to ask, the governor would
not hesitate, were it necessary, to cal

The Yankton Press thinks that the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul com pany
is opposing the scheme of building q
line Of road from Omaha to Yankton.
This is not unnatural. The officials of
no road are ever anxious to see the ter
ritory of theIr line invaded by any other
road. The companies haven't yet
reached that happy and impartial con-
dition of things wherein they regulate
the charges entirely upon the service
rendered. Tho town which has but one
railroad generally pays higher rates than
the town that has two or three or more
lines And it follows that the more
roads place has the better rates it will
be able to get. 1t may therefore be per.
fectly true that the Milwaukee company
is opposed to another road entering Da-
kota, especially from the south, though
1t Is not usual thing for the officials to
come out and wage active oppoaition to
the railroad aspirations Of any town or
section.-gtoua Fails Press.
Onr statement should probably have
been put more plainly, in justice to the
Milwaukee. That corporation was rep.
resented in the Omaha meeting as an
earnest applicant for the contract to
build from Omaha to Yankton, but the
meeting decided in favor of the Omaha
Southern, because the Milwaukee already
has line running from Yankton to
Chicago direct and would not be liable
to work for the short haul to Omaha
when it could secure the long haul to
Chicago. All parties interested favored
an independent line, built exclusively
for southern business, and the Omaha
Southern was therefore selected as the
recipient of tae $500.000 bonus. The
Milwaukee has thus far done nothing
more than vigorously compete for the
carrying privilege southwark from
Yankton. 1t opposes the Omaha South.

is disposed to blame the Milwaukee for

roughly scrawlsd warning written up

is the warning was sent by some ire

This is the sacred day of all the year
the dey devoted to the memory of those
who barred their breasts to the storm of
civil war and have gone to meet the
compensation of duty well performed.
The land is dotted over with little green
mounds which cover the dust of soldiers
who fought the last great battle for
human liberty, and dying died not in
vain. Their graves ere to-day clad in
living colors of natures choicest and
purest gifts, and the dropping emblems
of the nations affection which wither
upon their resting places as the light of
day vanishes off the earth are typical of
those heroic lives that were but are now
no more.
Our country in its onward march is far
beyond the day of warlike columns and
streaming pennants and kissing shot
and sulphurous pail covering DER the
gha,tiy ground Of strife-yet it has not
passed beyond a memory for those who
stood living bulwark between it and
destruction. The Sdth,of May it has
hallowed and made sacred to the ashes
OF its defenders, and the custom time
